My laptop with Windows 7 can't renew it's IP address via DHCP. I've tried both my ethernet card and my WIFI card, and I got nothing. It stats fine when I log in in my session after a reboot, but after that, I cant renew. It works fine with a static address configured, but it's useless since I move a lot between networks.
I've captured DHCP traffic in my NIC and I can see the DHCP Offer packets reaching my laptop. But Windows won't use it. I turned on the DHCP Debug in Windows, and it informs me that the DHCP Discover packets are being sent out, but it doesn't see any Offer packet. It shows a message about timeout. I don't know what I've disabled to get this behavior.
I tried with a Live CD with Ubuntu, and the DHCP works fine. So I presume that the problem is some configuration in my Windows settings. But I don't know where.
Please help!

Did you check if DHCP Service is running in your computer ? – pun – 2015-08-07T19:53:02.867
I've been restating a service named "DHCP Client", I presume that's the one you're saying. – ujemvi – 2015-08-07T19:56:17.357
